Subject: Cardboard Mounts for 6X6 Stereo Views - Saturn Slide

This is the one I need. Sorry, I can’t annotate or print-out and hand annotate this scan, so I hope the rulers help, but it is the only one for squares that will fit in my Saturn Slide Viewer - 80 X132 X 2mm thick (I think - can’t find my calipers), when closed. Note the apertures are not centered top to bottom, by the way.

If I’m not mistaken, these would fit all the viewers that anyone has. No?

Yes, the 80x132 mount will fit in all modern viewers.

In the 3D World viewers, which expect thicker 80x140 mounts,
the thinner cardboard mounts will flop around. It is
acceptable for a quick glance, but if one wants the best
from the image, slide a shim behind it. For extra points,
put a shelf on the lower edge of the shim so it will elevate
the image aperture to the lens center on the viewer.

I mount in both 80x132 cardboard and 80x140 plastic.
Sometimes it is for artistic reasons. Sometimes it is so I
have an in-camera-dupe mounted both ways. When choosing
images for the folios I administer, I try to provide two
cardboard and two plastic.
